About El Rincón de España
El Rincón de España is a neighbourhood Spanish tapas bar that brings a slice of Madrid-style conviviality to Tanjong Pagar. Expect low-lit interiors, rustic timber tables and an open kitchen where plates are assembled to share — perfect for groups, date nights or a relaxed after-work drink with colleagues from the CBD.
The typical crowd is a mix of office workers grabbing a casual weekday lunch, expats and couples out for dinner, and friends lingering over pitchers of sangria into the evening. It sits within easy walking distance of Tanjong Pagar MRT, making it a convenient stop for CBD lunch spots or late-night supper runs after bars in Clarke Quay. Locals appreciate the tapas format for weekend gatherings — order a few small plates (patatas bravas, gambas al ajillo) and a paella to share.
Although not a hawker stall, El Rincón nods to Singapore’s communal dining culture with shareable dishes and a lively, informal vibe that fits well into the heartland-to-CBD dining scene. It’s a solid spot for a long weekend meal, casual weekday makan, or an intimate celebration where you want flavourful, Spanish-style tapas without breaking the bank.
